A 1.00 L balloon is filled with helium at 1.20 atm. If the balloon is squeezed into a 0.500 L beaker and doesn’t burst, what is the pressure of the helium?
2.4 atm
According to Boyle's law: P1V1=P2V2
Here P1=1.2atm : V1=1L : V2=0.5L
⇒P2=1.2×10.5
⇒P2=2.4 L
Therefore, the volume of gas produced= 2.4 atm
